Ken checked on the other slaves, who had begun cultivating. Each of them were adding to his own cultivation too, so he was rapidly approaching the next minor realm, faster than he had before. He didn’t even need any pills, though they certainly did help.

He had also passed along a large number of manuals to them. Those who were currently Martial Apprentices, who had started as a blank slate, had been given a basic set of techniques to learn, though their cultivation technique was one of the best to exist. Their martial techniques were far more basic, but that was because he hadn’t found anything decent to teach them as of yet, and so they would need to wait before they began to specialise in anything greater.

Those who were Martial Warriors and Martial Experts had been given techniques which already worked with their current skills, which is where most of the manuals had gone to. Many of them had been surprised that Ken had given them all martial arts manuals, since that was extremely rare. Even if most of them weren’t as good as what he would have learnt, the fact he was so freely giving them access to so many which suited them had been shocking.

[I guess I should go back to training too…]

Ken had cultivated early in the morning, but now it was time for him to practise his techniques. He had begun learning Leaf Step properly, and was learning Leaf Body at the same time.

Once Nimi was done cultivating, she joined him. Her skills were quite poor, but she was strong enough to provide him a challenge. She was a Low Martial Warrior, and because of that difference, Ken did feel threatened when they trained.

Nimi and Ken would practise their body techniques together, with Nimi attacking him quickly with her sword, and Ken trying to dodge using both his Leaf Step and Leaf Body technique, which would allow him to barely glance the blade off if he didn’t already dodge it completely using Leaf Step.

Nimi wasn’t happy that she was attacking her Master, but after an hour of practising together, Chan would come.

“Are you ready?” Chan asked, licking her lips. She had refined Ken’s ki, and was ready to spar with them using the new surging strength within her.

[I should have rewarded her after our spar.]

Chan rushed in to fight them both, assisting in training the pair of them with their body techniques. Since she was so used to fighting, she was able to assist them in developing in the areas where they lacked, though sometimes she would throw in a surprise curve ball so they would be able to get used to getting beaten up.

As the days continued, they trained like this. Ken cultivated in the morning, taking Chan with him to the Hill Top, consuming the pills which Emerald had made for him.

Then he’d come back and train his Leaf Step and Leaf Body techniques, sparring with Nimi first, and then alongside her against Chan.

The other slaves were gaining strength too, though Ken wasn’t as personally as invested with them.

“Is there anything else you need” Ken asked his women one night when they were all cuddled and preparing to sleep. Even though Emerald had her own room, she was sneak into Ken’s room to take her rightful place beside him, whereas the others would sometimes sleep in their own beds nearby, or beside him too if they had finished with their own fun.

"We don't need anything, Master." Yuri rested her head up against his shoulder.

"Nothing at all, Master." Nimi was laying down some ways away, reading her martial arts manuals.

[Except maybe some cuddling?]

Nimi blushed, quickly covering her face with her book.

Chan was on Ken, hugging his arm and licking his face and cheek. "You, Master!" Her tail continued to sway from side to side. She was always like this when they were in the safety of privacy.

"If there's anything you need, make sure you tell me. Not just for cultivation, but for your happiness too. If I can't do at least that much, can I call myself your Master?" Ken pet Chan's hair and tickled her ears. He brought them some jewellery not long ago, and each of them had been quite thankful.

Emerald wore it at all times, and would secretly smell it when she was alone. The others would only wear it during their play, and would need to clean it once they were done. He first gave them a pearl necklace to go with their jewellery, though it was harder to clean up so he stopped.

One morning, he met with the slaves who were practising their cultivation. He glanced at them all, each of whom had grown at least a minor realm since they joined, some two minor realms, and others were on the cusp of climbing again.

"Now that you've all become used to living here, it's time get you to work. You are now escorts who will assist in bringing in money. The money you bring in will not cover the cost of the pills which you consume, but it will be enough to feed everyone here. That's your goal."

[He wants us to work to cover grocery bills?]

It was extremely unlikely they would recoup the cost of the pills they consumed, but it was more than fine if they were able to feed the entire populace. Ken and Emerald brought in more than enough money together, and with their daily and nightly lovemaking, they could create a large number of pills to help in a pinch.

“I am going to put you each in your groups now,” Ken said, moving the various people into their groups. Each group was five members strong, and would be under the lead of a much more experienced member.

Twenty Martial Apprentices under the lead of five High Martial Warriors. This was how they had to make the groups for now, as they would be in charge of taking fairly low ranking requests. He had wanted to form groups made purely of the Martial Apprentices, but realised they would need the help and the guidance of a more experienced member, even if they used different martial arts.

“The High Martial Warriors will take responsibility for each of your lives. If something happens, the leader will be disciplined. I am giving you a chance to earn something for yourself, so don’t disappoint me.”

That left the fifteen Middle Martial Warriors, including the familiar faces he had seen before. “You will need to remain behind in order to guard the estate.” Ken looked to both the wolf girl and the tiger girl. “You two will be in charge of the Estate Guards.”

The wolf girl, Okati, looked at Ken in surprise. She was one of the strongest two slaves, but she was also a beast person, and assumed that he wouldn’t pick either of the beast people to be in charge.

“I work alone!” Tira growled, crossing her arms. She would often train alone, and would sometimes spar with Okati, but otherwise kept to herself.

Ken looked at her as she glared at him. “Okay. You will work as a solo warrior then, and Okati can be the leader of the guards, though Chan will still outrank her.”

"What?” Tira blinked. “I can work alone?" She hadn’t expected him to agree to such a demand.

“Everyone has their preferences, and each of you have your own strengths. If you believe you work better alone, then you can work alone. However, that does mean that more will be expected of you.”

Tira felt a little awkward being so rude to him, but she looked away from him.

[At least he has some common sense!]

Ken turned to Okati. “Do you believe you are able to handle leading the guards?”

“We wolf people are experts at working in teams,” she said. “There is no one better than me here.” She looked to Chan beside Ken. “No one.” She narrowed her eyes towards Chan.

“You should lower your gaze before I spank you.” Ken smiled towards Okati, who did as he asked, her tail wrapping around her ass like a shield.

“Good. The rest of you, go to the Escort Pavilion with Yuri and register yourselves as your own independent units, but under the umbrella of The Emerald Company.” Ken blushed when he said the name. The name was obviously based off of Emerald’s name, since she was the Master, but it was still a little embarrassing. However, it also sounded really cool to him.

Yuri went along with the Martial Master they had hired, who would make sure she would be safe. Ken nodded to Okati, who would lead the charge in defending the estate whilst the Martial Master was gone.

Ken took Chan aside. “I think it’s time you tell me who Okati is to you.”

Chan nodded her head. “Okati’s tribe and my own are distantly related. When I was young, we used to play together. I hope Master will treat her well.”

“Of course I will, since she’s your friend.” Ken reached up and pet her head, before thinking about what he should do.

[Oh, right.]

“Leader Okati,” Ken called out, which made her stand to attention. Ken tossed a bag of pills. “You will be in charge of distributing their pills.” He tossed a smaller bag of pills. “Since you’re the Leader, I have higher expectations of you.”

“Yes, Master!” Okati exclaimed back towards him, like a soldier.
